Using hybrid rice Shanyou63, the agronomic and economic characters of different nitrogen(N) managements were evaluated. The results showed that the grain yield of the control(N omission plots) ranged from 6.8 to 7.4 t ha-1, indicating the high indigenous N supplyof the soil. Compared with farmers fertilizer practice (FFP, 240 kg N ha-1), the modifiedFFP (70% N of FFP), real-time N management (RTNM, applying N based on values ofchlorophyll meter) and site-specific N management (SSNM, applying nitrogen based on thetiming, amount of N and values of chlorophyll meter) increased the grain yield by 9.2-10.3%, 3.3-7.0% and 8.9-9.3%, and agronomic N efficiency (the increase in grain yieldper unit N applied) by 110.5-135.6%, 204.3-297.0% and 200.9-276.4%, respectively. Theresults suggested that RTNM and SSNM have great potential for improving N use efficiencywithout sacrificing the grain yield. In addition, RTNM and SSNM also decreased chalkygrain percentage and chalkiness to improve grain appearance quality.
